Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological building recording and a watching brief was undertaken at Leckhampton Industrial Estate, 205, Leckhampton Road, Leckhampton, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 94827 19466). A World War II air-raid shelter was recorded. In the watching brief phase a complex of two brick-lined limekiln pots, surrounded by a series of north to south and east to west brick and stone walls were recorded in the north-west side of the site. These were overlain by a series of late 19th and 20th century dump deposits. Deposits of waste from the limekilns were also found to the west and north of the limekiln complex. A number of artefacts recovered from made ground overlying the backfilled limekilns were retained for analysis. These comprised domestic pottery and glass of mid-19th to mid-20th century date, indicating a terminus post quem date range of 1853-1950 for the deposit, and a likely date within the middle of that range (late 19th or early 20th century) for abandonment and backfilling of the limekilns. No further in situ evidence survived of the former Leckhampton Quarries, such as the brickworks, stables and tramway, survived on site, other than a single railway track which was probably from the tramway, which was recovered from the dump deposits overlying the limekilns. There were no other foundations encountered, with modern made ground throughout the site overlying the natural substrate, indicating that the former foundations of all but the World War two Air Raid Shelter (previously reported on) and the limekilns, had apparently been grubbed out, and the site landscaped and levelled prior to the establishment of the industrial estate in the latter half of the 20th century.
